Manga Pulse 342: Gold Death

Whelp, it’s officially becoming the election year in the States. This means that the drudgery masquerading as election news is slowly morphing into actual news.

Tim finds a newer manga in Golden Kamui. It’s set in the Meji era and features a couple of characters hunting down a treasure in competition with others. Along the way, there are lots of historical nods and tidbits. There’s also a delicious amount of gore that used sparingly enough to punctuate the moments. It earns a Read It Now for all this wonderful pacing and storytelling.
